Selecting the correct cable size for your STAHL CMP-32PXSS2K Cable Gland with Compound is essential for a safe and reliable installation. Here's a straightforward guide:

1. Check the Clamping Range: The STAHL CMP-32PXSS2K cable gland is designed to accommodate cables within a specific diameter range. This particular gland supports a clamping range of 16mm to 32mm. Carefully measure the outer diameter of your cable to ensure it falls within this range.

2. Consider the Number of Cores: The maximum number of cores (individual wires) your cable gland can handle depends on the cable's diameter and construction. Refer to the cable manufacturer's specifications. These specifications will indicate the maximum core capacity that the gland can safely accommodate for your specific cable type and diameter.

3. Cable Selection: Based on your measurements and the manufacturer's data, select a cable that meets both criteria: it fits within the 16mm-32mm clamping range and the maximum core capacity allowed by the cable gland.

4. Prepare the Cable: Before installation, examine the selected cable for any signs of damage. Ensure the cable is clean and free of defects. If needed, carefully strip the outer sheath to expose the conductor wires, adhering to the cable manufacturer's recommendations.
